$100,000 Name That Tune - Donna vs. Ken 

The music In the close is nice

Jim isn’t putting any effort in the inner wheel when he is spinning it

The zero notes bid in Bid a Note wasn't used on the episodes outside of this week of aired pilot shows.

Richard Dawson never got frisked by a contestant

A wonder this made it onto the air.

They probably got rid of the “zero notes” bid because then it becomes a question/answer show instead of naming a tune.

@17:14, I don't know they didn't keep that for GOLDEN MEDLEY instead of using that round clock, plus this set looked better than what aired.

Some thematic elements of the opening theme were kept for a few very early episodes...for instance, the part played when John Harlan says the show's title was used for the contestant calldowns.

They kept those springy buttons from PYL,

wasn't ken on the regular episode of name that tune?

They should’ve kept that 0 note rule for bid-a-note. Sometimes a great clue can give the tune away

At 11:35 and 12:15 watch as Ken successfully names two tunes with zero notes but at 17:04 he let the last 10 seconds run down as he was unable to name the last tune.

This came from the Family Channel.

It's The First Time, That A Player Has Chosen, To Name That Tune in Zero Notes.

Jim Lange spun the first spin backwards

Was that 3 Supremes songs in one episode?

Interesting they brought down the NAME THAT TUNE opening sign during Bid A Note. This was the only pilot episode to do that.

This is one of the pilot episodes. Name that Tune was a hit as a weekly series, but only a marginal hit as a daily version. The show did pretty well early on, but lost ground in the ratings later in the season.

Watching these pilot episodes, I noticed the prize tags were left alone, even in Family Channel airings. Also, compared to the other pilot episodes, this one uses the 1.0 buzzers from Press Your Luck in 1983.

Donna was literally DUMBFOUNDED by those zero notes bids!!!

They showed these pilot episodes around late March 1985 on KYW in Philly.

It's possible a reason for them airing is one of the players on this week won the GOlden Medley.

you can only go as low as 1 note and he said I can Name That Tune in 0 notes ? crazy

If I was the female contestant on this episode I would have wanted to quit after round 2!
